Christian Boarding Schools in Kentucky

We’re a Therapeutic Christian Boarding School that Can Help Your Boy, Even Though We Are Not in Kentucky.

While you search for a Christian boarding school in Kentucky for your teenage son, would you also consider a Christian boarding school in a different place that is affordable, and has assisted struggling boys to change the course of their lives for more than 21 years?

Conveniently situated in the center of the country, Agape Boarding School accepts at-risk boys from all over the U.S. We are also certified to enroll international students. A number of boys typically come to our Christian boarding school from California, Texas, New York, Illinois and Florida, and especially Kentucky.

Christian Boarding School that Welcomes and Works with Teenage Boys Who are Struggling

Many of the boys who attend Agape are burdened with behavior issues such as rebelliousness, lying, lack of motivation in academics, hanging with the wrong peer group, anger, ADHD, trying out drugs or alcohol, or otherwise choosing the wrong road in life that could lead to serious problems if it were to continue.

Inexpensive Alternative to Therapeutic Boarding Schools in Kentucky

Even though our main focus is on dealing with inappropriate behavior and mentoring these boys, as a Christian boarding school, we also provide an accredited education, competitive sports and a variety of daily activities — all at a very cost-effective price. Agape helps teenage boys become respectful, disciplined and educated young men. Real change comes from our emphasis on the power of God to change lives. And our structured environment detached from their peers helps the boys learn positive new patterns and habits for living.

young men who attend the Agape Christian boarding school have an opportunity to catch up and finish their high school education and prepare for college. Boys complete an accredited curriculum to earn high school diplomas. Boys also study a variety of vocational skills at Agape, including automotive repair, painting, electrical, tiling, laying carpet, cement work, construction, landscaping, welding, and more. Residents are well-prepared for college or entry into initial jobs in the workforce, having learned these skills, as well as the self-discipline that will benefit them for a lifetime.

Residents also enjoy daily activities and athletic programs. The campus includes a full-size gymnasium and well-equipped indoor recreation center; baseball, football, and soccer fields and a volleyball court and boxing arena; a fishing pond and a small lake; horse barns and an outdoor riding arena; and an in-ground swimming pool, among other facilities. The land also is home to an abundance of exotic animals, from alpacas to zebras.

While not in Kentucky, Agape Christian Boarding School Enrolls and Helps Boys from Around the Country, Including Kentucky.

Numerous teen boys from Kentucky have turned their lives around with the support of Agape Boarding School and anticipate a bright future.

My grandson entered Agape under duress at age 14, a know it all who wouldn’t go to school. The staff at this school turned him around, in effect, replacing his missing father. He graduated as valedictorian this year. I can’t say enough about how this school helped him. He has…

We had two problem sons, both adopted from bad home backgrounds and who had serious issues. Agape was exactly what they needed and the school did wonders for them. It is a wonderful place that teaches respect, Biblical knowledge and principles and where they genuinely love the boys. They also…

I was the typical ‘know it all, you can’t tell me anything’ boy was I wrong! I went to the school when I was 15. After I graduated I stayed on for a year to help out as best I can. The school taught me a lot about myself, and…

I was not a kid into drugs or anything, I was just plain rebellious. Agape broke it out of me and I thank God He intervened and allowed me to change. The education is tremendous and the biblical beliefs are great. I love Agape and thank the Lord for a…

I enrolled my brilliant but unchallenged 15 year old son at Agape Boarding school in the fall of 2004. His grades had been slipping; he wasn’t a bad kid but starting to get into the wrong crowd and not try to succeed in school. After 4 months at Agape he…

Parent of Former Student

Agape helped us with an out-of-control son; we had nowhere else to turn. Agape’s prices are better than many other so-called teen boarding programs. Our son is a better person today because of Agape. He never would have graduated from school, and possibly wouldn’t have ever become a Christian without…

Parent of Former Student

Agape has saved the life of my son as well as the rest of the family. My son was adopted at age 7 from a third world country. He had spent his entire life in a bad orphanage. Upon arrival, his behavior was utterly out-of-control — though family, teachers and…

I made the difficult decision at Christmas time to send my son, and remember thinking, “God gave His only son and never got Him back alive, how blessed I am that I WILL get mine back better than when I handed him over” and had no idea how far Agape…

Look as long and hard as you want, but you won’t find a better all boys school that promotes Christian morals for your son. My son has completed 2 years at Agape and I couldn’t be prouder of his achievements and growth. Over the past year I had been hunting…

About 1 1/2 yrs. ago,we, as parents were in the position of desperately searching for the right place for our 13 y.o. son. I know what to look for in a school, through the MANY hours of “Googling”, searching, calling, reviewing. Nothing compares to the whole package we have found…

Parent of Former Student

I was a student at Agape` and I’m glad I was. The staff truly cared about and loved us and wanted the best for us. They would give the shirt off their backs for you, if needed, to see you succeed in life. The facility was first class and things…

Former Student

The main thing I can say about Agape is that it helped me put my life in perspective. People cared, and I have more good memories there then I do in my life now. I can say I loved each and every person there.

The deepest pain as a parent is dealing with a wayward child. Agape has been used by the Lord to make this reality much less painful in our lives. In the midst of the hurt and pain in our son’s life, Agape has been Jesus’ hands and feet, showing unconditional…

I truly believe in Agape and would like to share it with other parents who are in a difficult dark part of their lives our children are our world and it is heartbreaking to see your son destroy himself and the whole family!

One of the places I love to travel to and be a part of the ministry is at the Agape Baptist Church and boarding school. It is literally changing lives and is a great place to be. I heartily recommend it to any parent who has a boy that needs…

Dr. Gary L. Mann (Evangelist)

I went to Agape the summer of ’05. My life at that moment wasn’t God honoring and I never truly understood what it meant to be a Christian. After being at the school for little over a month I noticed some things about these people that caught me a little…

Phillip (Former Student)

Agape has been a great decision for our son. At home he was angry, suicidal, doing drugs, hanging with the wrong crowd, cutting himself. At Agape he has gotten saved, baptized, learned the Bible, finished high school, matured, and faced problems that we couldn’t get him to face. Agape saved…

Marla (Parent)

Coming to the realization that in order to save my young son’s life, I needed to send him away, was the most difficult and painful decision I have ever made. After researching everything from hospitals to military schools, I finally called Agape and truly felt a sense of peace and…

Laura (Parent)

Agape was the changing point in his life. We are so glad to have our son back not the scary young man who was here before. He is getting good grades in school. Keeping a job and becoming a leader at school. He attributes his change of heart and mind…

Edie (Former Parent)

The peace of mind that that we have found with Agape that comes from knowing our son is being cared for and is making progress in school is irreplaceable. Our whole family is better off. His mother and I can sleep soundly, knowing our son is safe. We are sure…

Brent (Parent)

This will be a very difficult decision to follow through with. Leaving your son with the staff at Agape Boarding School will test your faith. What helped us in this deciding on Agape was to take a tour before we made the final decision. I talked with the staff multiple…
